Matthew Poole and continuators on Ezekiel 41:7

7 And there was an enlarging and a winding about still upward to the side chambers: for the winding about of the house went still upward round about the house: therefore the breadth of the house was still upward, and so increas'd from the lowest chamber to the highest by the midst .

Viz. of the side-chambers, so much of breadth added to the Chamber, as was taken from the thickness of the Wall; that is two cubits in the uppermost, and one Cubit in the middlemost, more than in the lowest Chambers.

Winding Stairs which enlarged as the Rooms did, and these run up between each two chambers, from the bottom to the top, so there were two doors at the head of each pair of Stairs, one door opening into one Chamber, and the other into the opposite Chamber; or else, you must make the chambers thorough fares, and suppose passages thro' all.

These Stairs, as they rose in height, enlarged themselves too.

i. e. On all sides of the house, where these chambers were, which, as observed, was on three sides of the house.

Of each Chamber.

Grew broader by one Cubit in every upper Room or Chamber.

From 5 in the lowest to 6 in the middle, and to 7 in the highest Chamber.
